First Presbyterian Churchis jazzing things up a bit.

The Glendale church re-ceived the gift of a Hammondorgan from churchgoers whohave moved to the West Coast,and the community celebratedwith a concert at the churchhouse building,155E. FountainAve., Sunday, Jan. 6.

The concert included tradi-tional pieces, playedbychurchorganist Amy Duke, as well asa jazz performance by Glen-dale resident Rob Allgeyer,

who is a jazz pianist.The organ was the gift of

Steve Antenen and GwenTruesdell of Fairfield.

The couple attended FirstPresbyterian Church from2010 to 2012, when the couplemoved to California.

Duke has served as FirstPresbyterian organist since2000, and will play composi-tions include“ComeWithUs,OBlessed Jesus” by Dale Wood,and “Prelude and Fugue in FMajor” by J.S. Bach.

“I’m going to be playingsounds that are like churchmusic,” Duke said.

Then,Allgeyerwillperformselections from “The GreatAmerican Song Book,” amongother pieces, on the organ,which has a history of churchworship as well as jazz, bluesand popular music.

“It was meant as a low-costalternative to pipe organs,”Allgeyer said. “The churchesthatcouldn’t affordone in theirchurchwould buy aHammondorgan.

“This sound is associatedwith gospel music, and a lot ofrock, popandbluesgrewout of

Well, we’ve had snow,so as far as I’m con-cerned, all snow bunniesshould be happy for thenext year.

During these short,dreary winter days thememory of a gorgeousNovember morning

takes meback to atime ofsunshineand bright-ly coloredleaves.Volunteersfrom Val-ley Templein Wyo-ming cameto rake my

leaves and clean mygutters.

Saturday is their Sab-bath, so they arrived onSunday right on the dot.They were kind enoughto agree to let me take aphoto, and Jeannie Hill-er interrupted her busyschedule to share in-formation.

Valley Temple, once aschool for Judaism, nowhas a laundry list ofsocial activism. If youlook at their websiteyou’ll find that they doeverything from cookingand serving at the Over-The-Rhine Soup Kitchen,to providing handmadeblankets for hospitals,babies, teens, fire andpolice departments andshelters around the city,as well as reaching outto those within the Jew-ish faith. You would besurprised at the numberof events the Templehosts including pre-school classes and theValley Interfaith Foodand Clothing MitzvahBag Food Drive.

They helped methrough the work theydo for People WorkingCooperatively. Theyparticipate in a rakeweekend, a city-wideevent sponsored by PWCheld in November whereJeannie once volun-teered. When she be-came active on ValleyTemple’s Social ActionCommittee, she got theTemple involved. Jean-nie asked to serve Woo-dlawn because it is soclose to the Temple.

Volunteers usually

rake for two or threehours and can get threeto four yards done. For15 years she haswatched children whoparticipated grow upand pass volunteeringlessons on to their chil-dren. Jeannie’s ownthree children, now ages23, 27 and 30 have bene-fitted greatly from thebiblical teaching ofplanting, watering andthus increasing by gooddeeds.

Jeannie says, “TheTemple talks about giv-ing back to the commu-nity all the time. Rabbin-ic interns usually staytwo years while learningto become a rabbi, andone of the things theyhelp with is the youthgroup. Usually seventh-and eighth-graders rake,but sometimes highschool kids help. If thefamily has younger chil-dren, they gladly pitchin. Parents and children

get good feelings fromtheir deeds. All kids takelife lessons from volun-teering. It is importantfor me to be active in mycommunity.

“It is important toteach young people togive back. In Hebrew,the words “TikkunOlam” mean 'repairingthe world' and one wayto do this is by doingMitzvot – which meanscommandments, but italso means good deeds.

In Judaism we believethat is very important.”

Jeannie grew up inDelhi. Her husband isfrom Memphis and they

have been members ofValley Temple for 33years. Jeannie is a jewel.Sweet enough to call meahead of time, she didn’tknow that I needed mygutters cleaned, and Ididn’t know that thegroup was only comingto rake leaves.

She said she wouldsee what she could do,and doggone if she didn’tshow up with a full crewplus equipment and herneighbor’s ladder. Theywere great! Everyonewas enthusiastic andfinished in no time flat.And, what a professionaljob! Then it was off tothe next yard.

WYOMING — Matt Rooksended 2012 in style by leadinghis Wyoming High School boysbasketball team to a victory inthe Brian Cook Classic Dec. 28-29. The Cowboys took the titleby defeating Dayton BelmontandMiddletown Christian.

Playing with just two sen-iors, Ben Kurtz and DawsonRogers, Wyoming surpassedlast year’swinmark onDec. 21.After a 1-3 start to the season,the Cowboys won four straightto close out the year.

Part of the dilemma forRooks is erasing last season’s 2-19 nightmare.

“We’re playing a lot of ju-niors and sophomores,” Rookssaid. “I think theguys are start-ing tosee theresultsof thehard

work. They work hard andthey’re playing better in thegames.”

A disciple of Moeller coachCarl Kremer, Rooks spent thelast eight seasons with the Cru-saders. He has changed Wyo-ming’s playing style and hasdropped the zone foranaggres-sive man-to-man approach.

“We want Wyoming basket-ball to be all about hard workand defense,” Rooks said.“We’ve beenpreaching it everyday in practice.”

The sweaty sessionspaid offwiththeCookClassic trophy.At6-foot-4, junior Will Martymade the all-tournament team,while fellow 6-foot-4 classmateMark Akinbi was theMVP.

Akinbi has been shootingaround 70 percent and is Wyo-ming’s second-leading scorerbehind junior guard AhmadFrost.

“Ahmad kind of makes usgo,” Rooks said. “Teams arestarting to key on him. Mark

Akinbi has worked all offsea-son. He’s worked his rear endoff to get better. He’s probablyour best shooter and he canscore down low. He’s a toughmatchup for teams.”

Kurtz, Marty and DawsonRogers from the football Cow-boyscomplete the starting line-up.

At Moeller, Rooks was usedto having more basketball-onlyplayers.AtWyoming andmanyCincinnati Hills Leagueschools, three-sport athletesarecrucial to their schools’ suc-cess.

“A lot of our guys play foot-ball,” Rooks said. “I think ittakes thema long time (toget inbasketball shape). Most ofthem don’t touch a ball. Martyplayedreallywell in the tourna-ment. He can shoot the ball andhe’s very smart.”

Also contributing off thebench forWyoming is 5-foot-10freshman Mason Rogers, 6-foot-2sophomoreWalkerLewis

and 6-foot-3 junior Nolan Prev-ish. 6-foot-5 junior Griffin O’G-ara has been injured.

With their above averageCHL length, crashing theboards and covering the ball iscrucial.

“Early on, we had a hardtime scoring,” Rooks said.“That’s why since day onewe’ve said we’ve got to guardpeople to be good. We have toget some stops.”

The league is expected tocome down to Mariemont andMadeira, but Rooks feels hisgroup is in the mix. The War-riors and Mustangs are muchmore senior-laden than theCowboys.

“We played Mariemont thesecond game of the year,”Rooks said. “We were beatingthem all the way up to the end.We ended up losing by six.”

Arematch isaheadatMarie-mont Jan. 18. In the meantime,Wyoming will host MadeiraJan. 11.

Wyoming won the Brian Cook Classic with a win over Middletown Christian Dec. 29.

Momentary momentum?Tournament winmotivates WyomingBy Scott [email protected]

KENWOOD—After the orga-nizersof aprepholiday tourna-ment in Naples, Fla., wentbankrupt, the Moeller boysbasketball team made lemon-ade out of their lemon in theland of oranges.

The Crusaders kept theirDecember roundball traditionalive by continuing on to theirdestination with their ownfund-raising. They finished2012 by playing a combinationof local teams and others whohad also traveled south.

In the end, coach CarlKremer’sblueandgoldpartici-pated in four games, returninghome Jan. 2.

The tournament was origi-nally going to include top-notch programs like the Cru-saders in one portion, with agroup of non-sanctioned acad-emies and prep schools in an-other. When the arrangementfell apart, Moeller carried onby playing a couple of localschools along with Wilbrahamand Monson Academy of Mas-sachusetts and a Canadianteam.

Kremer’s crew defeatedGolden Gate High School andCommunity School from theSunshine State during the five-

day span. Their lone loss Dec.27-31 was to the academy nearBoston, 47-42.

“TheyhadanumberofDivi-sion I players,” Kremer said ofWilbraham and Monson. “Welost in a close game.”

Overall, the Crusadersmade the best of the situationand came home ready to con-tinue their rugged GreaterCatholic League and non-con-ference schedule.

“I wasn’t sure we wereready for this,” Kremer said.“We’re young.”

The Canadian teamwasWa-terloo, out of Ontario. Krem-er’s staffhad tried tonoavail tofind out information aboutthem, so he inquired personal-ly on game day in a conversa-tion with their coach.

“He said, ‘We’re not aschool,’” Kremer explained.“They were an all-star teamfrom southern Ontario orga-nized for the tournament to ex-pose their basketball playersto America.”

Moeller mounted a second-half surge in the game to win53-35 with junior Grant Benz-inger scoring 22 points.

“We feel with Josh Daven-port on one wing and Grant onthe other, we make it difficultfor teamstoguardus,”Kremersaid.

Benzinger and Davenportare typically in double digitsfor the Crusaders, with 6-foot-8 sophomore Nate Fowlersometimes posting double-doubles in points and re-bounds.

“His fundamentals and bas-ketball IQ is huge,” Kremersaid. “He just turned 16 on ourFlorida trip.”

In addition to Fowler in themiddle, Moeller has 6-foot-6Patrick Wrencher returningsoon from injury and 6-foot-4,

228-pound Corey Muchmore.The 6-foot-3 Davenport and 6-foot-2 Benzinger add to theCrusader’s length, along with6-foot-7 Jack Anton and 6-foot-6 Adam Gigax off thebench.

Distributing the ball is ju-nior guard Tre’ Hawkins wholeads the GCL in assists. Even-tually, three-year player KeithWatkins will return from hisfootball ailments adding to theMoeller arsenal.

“Keith can start practicesoon, but that’s just practice,”Kremer said. “We want himready for the tournament.We’ll try to work him in onestep at a time.”

Ahead on Moeller’s aggres-sive winter menu are St. Xavi-er Jan. 11 and a home date withAiken Jan. 12.

“We’ve got some size, we’vegotsomeathleticismandwe’vegot some shooters,” Kremersaid. “We’re pretty balanced.Our football guyswe didn’t get‘til really late. It just meshestogether we hope byMarch.”

For the long term future,Moeller plans an annual holi-day trip and was scheduled toreturn to Arizona next Decem-ber (they played there Decem-ber 2010). However, that en-deavor could be on hold finan-cially.

A publication of

Making college more affordableStanding at over $1 trillion,

student tuition loan debt nowtops auto loan debt and creditcard debt.

In the last quarter, the stu-dent loan 90-day delinquencyrate increased to 11 percent.

This delinquency rate issignificant considering in 2007(the start of the sub- primemortgage crisis,) 16 percent ofsub-prime mortgages were 90days delinquent.

Unlike credit card debt orautomobile loans, student loansare virtually impossible toliquidate. Consequently, young20 to 30-year-olds burdened

with tuitiondebt areforced to putoff other pur-chases likecars andhomes, cre-ating a situa-tion that stiflesoverall U.S.economicgrowth.

Relief is onthe way for those with federalstudent loans in the form of theObama Administration’s “PayAs You Earn” (PAYE) pro-gram.

An income-based repay-ment program, PAYE is a wayfor struggling borrowers tomake affordable monthly pay-ments adjusted to their earn-ings and discretionary income.

Scheduled to go into effectJuly 1, PAYE will reduce thecap on federal student loanpayments to 10 percent of theborrowers income. This 10-percent cap is projected tosignificantly lower the month-ly student loan payment (by asmuch as 33 percent) for mil-lions of over-burdened borrow-ers. To provide even morerelief, loan forgiveness is set at

20 years.In addition, the “Pay As You

Earn” income-based studentloan repayment plan will helpsome borrowers avoid default-ing on other loans. A mostpositive side effect for ournation’s continuing overalleconomic recovery andgrowth.

President Obama said, “In aglobal economy, putting a col-lege education within reach forevery American has neverbeen more important. But ithas also never been more ex-pensive. That’s why we’retaking steps to help nearly 1.6

million Americans lower theirmonthly student loan pay-ments.”

Higher education can not beconsidered a luxury. Earning apost-secondary degree or cre-dential is a prerequisite for21st century jobs, and one thatevery American should be ableto afford.

Looking to lower yourmonthly payments? Are youlooking to consolidate debt? Intoday’s recovering economy,

these ques-tions are top ofmind for manyborrowers.Millions ofAmericans are“underwater”or faced withthe challengeof owing moreon their mort-gages thantheir homes

may be worth and are strug-gling to make monthly pay-ments. With extended govern-ment programs and currentlylowmortgage rates, refinanc-ing may be a simple and bene-ficial option to help you and

your family save money andstay in your home.

In the simplest terms, refi-nancing your homemortgageallows you to apply for a newterm and interest rate to helpyou pay off an existing loan.

By taking advantage of alower interest rate, you may beable to reduce your monthlypayments and lower your over-all mortgage costs. This can beespecially helpful for under-water borrowers struggling tomake current loan paymentsdue to a change in a financialsituation or when faced withother significant expenses.Money saved through refi-nancing also may increaseyour individual cash flow andhelp you pay off or consolidateother debt, including creditcards.

Refinancing also may allowyou to shorten the length ofyour mortgage term. If youhave additional funds avail-able, you may be able to adjustyour loan to a shorter termwith a lower interest rate,which can ultimately help youpay off your mortgage loanfaster.

Many homeowners may beeligible for the government’senhanced Home AffordableRefinance Program (HARP),which was designed in 2009 tohelp underwater borrowersrefinance. During the fourthquarter of 2011, the FederalHousing Finance Agency an-nounced significant modifica-tions to this program, calledHARP 2.0, which has beenextended until December 2013.This program continues to

change, and some borrowerswho were not qualified underthe former programmay qual-ify under HARP 2.0.

The HARP 2.0 program canbenefit borrowers, who arecurrent on their mortgagepayments and have not had alate payment in the past sixmonths and no more than onelate payment in the past 12months. This program is de-signed for borrowers whoseexisting loan has been sold toFannie Mae and Freddie Macon or before May 31, 2009.HARP 2.0 also benefits bor-rowers who are not currentlypaying private mortgage insur-ance (PMI) or are insuredthrough national mortgageinsurance providers involvedin the HARP program includ-ing Radian, Genworth and

MGIC.To help you understand if

refinancing is right for you,you should contact your cur-rent mortgage lender or anoth-er financial institution to re-view your available options.

As a financial institutionfocused on helping borrowersachieve homeownership andstay in their homes, FifthThird can provide additionalinformation about refinancingby calling (877) 841-7513. If youare not sure if your loan wassold to Fannie Mae or FreddieMac, you can see if your mort-gage qualifies for the HARP2.0 program by visitingwww.53harp.com.

March is colon cancerawareness month.

Colon cancer is the thirdmost common cancer in theU.S. and about 55,000 Ameri-cans will die from colon can-cer each year. Up to 6 percent

will developcolon cancerin their life-time. It af-fects all racesand is equal inwomen andmen, occur-ringmore fre-quently afterage 50.

People athigher risk in-clude thosewith a family

history colon cancer or polyps(especially if less than age 60at time of diagnosis), familyhistory of other cancers (ute-rus, ovary, and kidney), per-sonal history of ulcerative co-litis, Crohns disease, diabetesor obesity.

Colon cancer tends to de-velop slowly over years assome polyps (growths in thecolon lining)maybecomecan-cerous. If polyps are removedearly, coloncancer canbepre-vented. Symptoms may occurlaterwhen the disease ismoreadvanced and may include:change in bowel habits, fre-quent constipation or diar-rhea, rectal bleeding, unex-plainedweight loss or anemia,abdominal discomfort orbloating.

Many other conditions

could cause these same symp-toms and should be discussedwith your physician.

Lifestyle modification andscreening can reduce the riskof colon cancer. Maintainingan ideal body weight, regularexercise, smoking cessation,decreasing red meat and in-creasing vegetable and fruitconsumption can be helpful.

Proper screening can sig-nificantly reduce the risk ofcolon cancer by up to 90 per-cent. Unfortunately, onlyabout 50 percent of Ameri-canshavebeen screened. Sev-eral screening options areavailable and many are cov-ered by Medicare and majorinsurance carriers.

A full colonoscopy is themost complete examinationand the only method that si-multaneously allows for re-moval of polyps during theprocedure. Testing stool forhidden blood, flexible sigmoi-doscopy and barium enemamay be useful,but are not asaccurate in detecting polypsor cancer as colonoscopy.

CT colonography (a spe-cialized CT scan) or testingstool for genetic abnormali-ties are possible futurescreening options but are notcovered by some insuranceplans or as widely available atthe present time. If abnormal-ities where found, a colonos-copy would be needed to fur-ther evaluate.

Several medical organiza-tions recommend a screeningcolonoscopy for average risk

patients every10 years begin-ning at age 50. If polyps arefound, follow-up intervalsmay be shorter than 10 years.Higher risk patients mayneed to be screened earlier atage 40 or 10 years earlier thanthe youngest family memberwas diagnosedwith colon can-cer.

The American College ofGastroenterology recom-mends African-Americans ofaverage risk start screeningat age 45.

Colonoscopy is consideredthe best screening test whenperformed by a qualified phy-sician. It is safe and sedationused during the proceduremakes it comfortable for thevast majority of patients.Newer bowel preparationdone to cleanse the colon usesmaller volumes of laxativesand are commonly split intotwodoses to improve theproc-ess.Expert ambulatoryoutpa-tient centers follow strictquality and safety guidelines.

Colon cancer is a prevent-able disease. Screening andearly detection can signifi-cantly reduce the risk of coloncancer and needs to be doneeven when no symptoms arepresent. It is important to bescreened and to encouragefamily and friends as well, itcould save your or a lovedone's life.

EVENDALE—

L ate in her life, DorothyGorman began receivingbaskets of flowers.

Theyweren’t gifts fromrela-tives or friends, though. In-stead, real estate developerswere trying to sweet-talk Do-rothy into selling her farm.

Those flowers could havebeen sent to Siberia for all thegood they did.

While other farmers soldtheir land and saw it subdi-vided, Dorothy and her brother,Jim, were adamant about pre-serving their family heritageand their farm.

If the Gormans were stillaround – Dorothy died in 2006,Jim in 2001 – they would nodoubt be pleased that in Augusttheir farm, which dates to thefirst half of the 19th century,was added to the National Reg-ister of Historic Places.

They’d also like hearing thata couple of days earlier, ChrisSchaefer of Evendale ran a discthrough one of the fields inpreparation of winter wheatplanting. The Gormans alsowanted it to remain a workingfarm.

Schaefer, a friend of theGor-mans, tells this story as he treksalong the farm’s hillside on acool autumn day. He’s one ofabout 150 volunteers who pitchin to keep Gorman HeritageFarm going.

Schaefer has also helpedclear honeysuckle from thehill-side tomakewalkable trails. “Apain in the neck,” he says of theinvasive plant. Other volun-teers feed animals, tend gar-dens, help with harvest, makerepairs.

One might wonder why theyput in the time here. After all,surrounded by suburbia on oneside and commercial and indus-trial development on the other,the 120-acre farm can seem outof place.

In fact, it’s right where itneeds to be.

“You come up here,” Schaef-er says, reaching themeadowatthe top of the hill, “and it’s likeyou’re in a different world. It’s

kind of an island of solitude.”The Gormans donated the

farm to the Cincinnati NatureCenter in 1995. Eight years lat-er, the nature center turned itover to the village of Evendale,which established the GormanHeritage Farm Foundation tooperate it as a nonprofit work-ing farm and outdoor educationcenter.

“I drove by so many timesandneverknewwhatwashere,”says Traci Cook of Reading.

She and her home-schooledchildren – Caitlin, 8, Natalie, 9,and Allan, 11 – toured the farmlast summer. Since then they’vebeen coming every Thursday,which is volunteer day.

Roosters crow as the chil-dren go about their chores,which include feeding the pigsand chickens and donkey.

“Growing up in the city, wehaven’t had a whole lot of expo-sure to farm life,” Cook says.Here, they “gain an apprecia-tion of where we come from,how we survive, the basic ne-cessities of life that are foundon a farm.”

The children learned, for ex-ample, that the farm’s turkeyswould end up on dinner tables.That sheep might look soft andfluffy,but theirwool iscoarse tothe touch. And that, as Nataliesays, “the animals need a lot ofcare.”

She collects two eggs laid bythe Pekin ducks. “Let’s see how

muchtheyweigh,”shesays, set-ting them on a scale that tellsher they are “extra large.” Sheplaces theminaneggcarton inarefrigerator.

Later, the family hikes to thetop of the hill to eat lunch.

“We’ve fallen in love withthis place,” Cook says.

Another volunteer, KathyAerni, hears that a lot, and notjust from young people.

Older folks “are so happy tobe here. If they didn’t live on afarm, their parents probablydid. They’re so happy to see ani-mals or some of the tools or justto be in a place where thingsgrow.”

Aerni, fromOakley, does herpart to keep things growing. “Iadopt all these beds,” she says,kneeling in a garden, “and keepthem planted.”

The Egyptian walking on-ions, planted this fall, will stayin the ground until spring. TheSwiss chard is still growing.

And the volunteers keepcoming,year-round.Aerni findssomething to appreciate aboutevery season at the farm, evenwinter, when “it’s just so quietand peaceful.”

Davis & Winters

Lou & Cherita Daviswould like to announcetheir son’s wedding onSept. 29th in Atlanta, GA.Louis C. Davis IV and ErinWinters were joined inmarriage in Holy matrimo-ny. The couple lives in At-lanta. The bride’s parentsare Rita & Bill Wintersfrom Alabama.

It’s definitely a soupday. The snow has justabout disappeared (and itwas just the nicest snowfor sledding and buildingsnowmen) but the tem-perature continues to

drop. Itregistereda finger-freezing 12degreeswhen Iwent out tofeed thechickenslast week.

Afterthe glut ofholiday

eating, a steaming hotbowl of soup is just per-fect for supper. Barley isin the news for its health-giving qualities anddownright earthy flavor.Interestingly enough,barley was one of thegrains people of a gener-ation or two ago usedfrequently. Back then, itwas long-cooking barley.Today we have quick-cooking barley, as well.

When my kids wereinfants and lost theirappetites when theywere sick, mymomwould make barley wa-ter. I know it soundsweird, but she cookedpearl barley in water,strained it, then addedhoney and lemon. Itwasn’t the most appeal-ing drink, looks-wise, butthey liked it and it helpedthem get well. Mom saidit was nourishing. I justtook her word for it andit was years later that I

found out barley’s a goodsource of vitamin E/antioxidants, fiber andniacin, and it helps diges-tion. It’s a great grain forthe heart.

Mushrooms, too, aregood for you. They’re lowin calories, carbs, fat andsodium. Plus they’re highin water and fiber and anexcellent source of potas-sium, which helps thebody process sodium andlower blood pressure.

Beef barleymushroom soup

My husband Franklikes a drizzle of red winevinegar to finish off thesoup. My colleague Matt

Swaim, producer at Sa-cred Heart Radio, feelslike taking a nap afterenjoying this soup. Sonow you’re forewarned!As I always tell you,adjust the seasonings totaste.

6 strips bacon, cut up2 cups chopped onion1 tablespoon garlic1 poundmushrooms, sliced(I used cremini)

1 scant tablespoon tomatopaste

1 quart beef broth plusabout a cup of water, ifnecessary

1 cup quick-cooking barley1 teaspoon dried oregano

Sauté bacon until

crisp. Add onion andgarlic. Cook until onion isstarting to brown. Addmushrooms and cookuntil tender and pot isbeginning to get dry. Stirin rest of ingredients andbring to a boil. Reduceheat to a simmer andcook until barley is ten-der, about 20 minutes.Add water if necessary.Season with salt andpepper.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

I like adding a bit oftomato paste to somesoups and stews. Freezeleftover paste in a bag-gie, smoosh the air out

and lay it flat. When youneed some, you can pushout the frozen paste.

Formerly secretchicken cornchowder

For the reader whohad a similar soup at aluncheon. The hostesswould only divulge ingre-dients. “The recipe issecret,” she said. If thisis similar to what thereader ate, the secret’sout! Substitute driedbasil, rosemary andthyme for Italian sea-soning if you want.

Olive oil8 oz. sliced freshmushrooms

11⁄4 cups chopped onion ormore to taste

2 10.5 oz. cans chicken brothor more, if needed

1pound corn, thawed iffrozen or drained ifcanned

2-3 cups cooked chicken,chopped (deli chicken isgood)

110.5 oz. can condensedcream of chicken soup

1⁄2 cup orzo1 teaspoon dried Italianseasoning

1 cupmilk11⁄2 tablespoons flourSalt and pepper to taste

Heat oil in soup potand add mushrooms andonions, and cook overmedium high heat untiltender, about 5 minutes.Add chicken broth, corn,chicken, soup, orzo andseasonings. Bring to aboil, then lower to a sim-

mer and cook until orzois tender, about 10 min-utes. Stir together milkand flour in a small bowl;gradually stir into chow-der and cook until hotthroughout.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Onion facts: Smallonion equals about 3⁄4 cup,a medium about 11⁄4 cupsand a large about 2 cups.

Can you help?Ruby Tuesday’s bis-

cuits for Rose, who wantsto know if anybody hasfigured out how to makea similar one. Rose mustreally want the recipe,since she told me she’dgive her eyetooth tomake biscuits so tasty.

Friendship Breadyeast questions: DebbieWilson, along with oth-ers, questioned the use ofyeast in the starter. Someolder starter recipesdon’t call for any yeast. Ihave used those startersand they do work, but theyeast gives the starter a“boost” or assurance thatI like.
